A lumbar disc replacement is a type of back surgery that involves replacing a diseased or herniated disc in the lower part of your spine with an artificial disc. This procedure is relatively new, gaining FDA approval in 2006.

There are certain parameters set forth concerning who is eligible for a lumbar disc replacement, so it takes an evaluation to determine whether or not the patient meets these guidelines.
